Free Telescopy Round Video Bot

You want to send a video in Telegram as a neat circle instead of a rectangle, but recording in the chat is awkward: the light is wrong, or you have to redo it. Free Telescopy helps turn an ordinary video into a round message. ❤️

The bot's profile is short: it helps you make round videos. Here is what that format is, how to work with it and what to keep in mind.

What a Telegram circle really is

A video message in Telegram shows up as a small circle that plays right inside the conversation. It is recorded in a square frame and then cropped to a circle, so anything important belongs near the middle.

Such a message is limited to one minute. A longer recording has to be trimmed first.

Why use a separate bot

Recording on the spot suits quick replies. When you need better material, it is easier to film with a proper camera, edit the clip and only then turn it into a circle.

• Prepared footage. You can use video shot earlier instead of talking to the camera live.
• Less pressure. No holding the record button and nailing it in one take.
• Your own light and sound. A good camera and microphone beat the built-in chat recorder.

How to use it

The bot has two commands: /help for a short guide and /privacy for the privacy policy. Start with the help text, which explains the order of steps. 📹

1. Open the bot and press Start.
2. Send it a video file.
3. Wait for the reply with the round video.
4. Forward the result to the chat or channel you need.

Filming for a circular crop

A circle cuts off the corners, so think about composition up front. A few simple rules save you from unpleasant surprises:

• Face in the center. Chin and top of the head should not touch the edges.
• Square frame. Leave room on the sides so nothing important gets cut.
• Light from the front. A window ahead of you beats a lamp behind.
• Short phrases. One minute fits a single thought, not a lecture.

Who it helps

Channel authors who want a personal touch, teachers who send short explanations and people who congratulate friends all get something from it. 🎬 A circle feels warmer than plain text or a standard clip.

If you run a channel, video messages work well as a greeting for new subscribers or a quick announcement. Do not overdo it: several circles in a row get tiring.

Circle or regular video

A circle works where a personal touch counts: a greeting, a thank you, a short explanation. It is a poor fit for instructions with small on-screen text, because details are hard to read in a circle.

If you need to show a table, a diagram or an interface, send a regular video. Keep the circle for face-to-face talk. 🙂

Sound matters too: many people watch circles without headphones, so speak clearly and skip background music that drowns out your voice.

Privacy matters

The video you send is uploaded to a third-party service and does not stay only on your phone. So avoid sending clips with documents, payment details or other people's faces without their consent. Processing terms are described under /privacy, so read them before your first use. 🔒
